ANNAPOLIS, Md.. -- The Wisconsin Badgers wrestling team was powered by three first-place finishes, two second-place finishes and two third-place finishes at Wesley Brown Field House in the Navy Classic on Saturday. The Badgers scored 164 team points in the 13-team field, well ahead of second-place Navy’s 106.5.

He took the 125 lbs., title by recording two major decisions, a fall and two decision wins. He beat Princeton’s Garrett Frey by decision in the championship, 9-4.
